Backward compatibility problems

[happy_mak]

Sony has officially announced that certain Playstation One and PS2 titles are running into problems mostly with reports of screens freezing or background music related issues.
They have also put up a support site and i checked the details of a few games which have run into problems.

One is Tekken 5 a PS2 title which freezes on certain actions of which i wrote a small write up at my blog here

Don't worry it will be fixed with the next firmware update.

I wouldnt be the least bit suprised if sony left bugs in there firmware with the intentions of useing backwards compatibility as a method of forceing updates on us....

I mean. try as you may. you cant explain to me that sony the people that made the ps one-three. doesnt know how to fix these little bugs before something as important as a console launch..

wait and see. every game but those worthless tony hawk and wwe wresteling bull$#@! will have little glitches that need fixes via firmware updates .....

BAhhhh!!...

Indeed. Also, the backwards compatibility engine is different to the emulation engine, or Playstation 1 emulation would already been included in the Launch firmware.
